TIL Melbourne has the largest tram system in the world, mainly because they didn’t dismantle it in the 1950s like most of the rest of the English-speaking world did.

The largest tram system in the world looks a bit sad, my random german city with 1/10 the population of Melbourne has 30 Mio. more riders annually on its trams.

They really need more interconnections and maybe some ring routes.

Yeah unfortunately the trams and trains used to be competitors so there are a lot of places the trams don’t interconnect intentionally.

Phillip Mali’s did a video about it many moons ago.

In prague cz, there was at least 1 stop like that in the center.

Most Americans understand the swing-out STOP signs on school buses: thry stock out pit one of those at the rear edge of the tram (on the curb side).
